Hospitals and private institu.
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in the United States is de.
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess.
ional and public men are &C
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui.
cides, committed without ap.
parent reason, or underso-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros.
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wolllan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they9 The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mentaland physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours

burn ife's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng

is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs Of Digestion, Assi,m-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy

troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starved;
even when there is no emaci,

Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:-headache

loss Of appetite and disgust with
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx.
